Romeo and Juliet at Chicago Shakes

Chris Jones, Tribune: "At the end of “Romeo and Juliet,” as the two most famous lovers in dramatic literature lie bloodied on Navy Pier, a strange notion pops into your head. It's probably just as well they're both dead, you think. It would never have lasted anyway. Heck, we never even see it get started. That is all one strange takeaway from a performance of the greatest love story ever told, but then Gale Edwards' Chicago Shakespeare Theater production is about the most cynical “Romeo and Juliet” you're ever likely to see. Love conquers nothing here. Love is nowhere near the theater."

Billy Elliot

Went with a crew of people to see this at Broadway in Chicago. Always love ballet on stage, but wasn't wild about this. The flying harness was fun.

Peter Pan at Lookingglass

Kind of lost the dramatic thread of the story, but yea, fight choreography by Matt Hawkins, and yea, Molly Brennan rollicking all over the place.
